Hanging around the neck of a red deer is a wolverine.
The red deer is tall and tall, walks with a high head and is as handsome as a horse. It is second only to the moose in size and is a large deer animal.
The red deer that just ran past the nearby forest had branch-like antlers on its head. It was obviously a stag and weighed over three hundred kilograms.
The wolverine only weighs about fifty pounds.
There is a huge disparity in size and weight.
In Lu Lu's understanding, wolverines are one of the natural enemies of red deer, but they often prey on weaker female red deer or calves. Direct hunting of male deer like this is rare.
Even though the red deer is a herbivore, its fighting power is still very powerful.
For a male red deer, the most important part of his body is his head.
A one-year-old male deer will start to have branch-shaped horns on its head. Every time it grows one year old, it will add one prong. When it reaches eight years old, it will no longer grow.
In other words, an adult male red deer will grow eight-pointed antlers. For this reason, moose are also called eight-pointed deer.
Even though the antlers of red deer look a bit fairy-like, they fall off on their own after the breeding season every year and grow back the next year. The newly grown antlers are covered with a layer of down and look soft.
, you can cut the antlers at this time. When they grow to a certain point, the down will fall off and the antlers will harden.
At this time, Red Deer began to polish his own set of weapons.
They will use tree trunks to polish their antlers or wrestle with their companions to make the velvet on the surface of the antlers fall off as quickly as possible, revealing the hard antlers.
Its fighting power is not only its antlers, but also its very powerful front kick. When Lu Lu was collecting mountain goods in his previous life, he saw an example of someone hunting a red deer, and his leg was broken by the red deer's hoof. The power was extraordinary.
Ge Jiatian caught the red deer with his bare hands and almost didn't let the deer be crippled. This was also a good example.
When they saw the red deer suddenly jump out of the forest and turn around to escape, at such a close distance, Yuanbao and the others immediately chased him without Lu Lu giving any instructions.
Red deer are a good thing, so the five of them immediately followed them and started chasing them.
The barking of Yuanbao and the other dogs is the best guide. Just run in the direction of the barking.
The red deer's running ability and endurance are very impressive, but after all, there was a wolverine hanging around its neck and it was being attacked. It didn't run very far before it was overtaken by Yuanbao and the others.
The five of them chased for only four or five minutes before they saw a red deer and a wolverine fighting madly on the snow in the forest, surrounded by six dogs.
Seeing this situation, Lu Lu didn't know what to say.
The red deer had no choice but to run away, so it had no choice but to fight to the death.
The wolverine, which was in a hunting position, actually refused to let go of the red deer and escape even when it was surrounded by Yuanbao and the others.
I am really tired of living.
As if they had never seen such a strange situation, Yuanbao and the others did not immediately join the battle, but swam quickly to the side, barking wildly at the red deer and badgers standing in a group.
Of course, it's not easy for them to get close while they're jumping and fighting manically.
When he got closer, Zhao Yongke raised his gun and was about to shoot, but Lu Lu suppressed him: "They can't run away. Let's see. A fifty-pound wolverine hunts a male red deer weighing more than three hundred pounds.
It’s hard to encounter such a situation, so take a look and learn more about it.”
Hearing what Lu Lu said, Liang Kangbo, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing, who also raised their guns, lowered their guns.
On the snow, the red deer jumped wildly, rising up again and again, trying to use the force of its fall to shake off the wolverine hugging its neck.
But the wolverine is not a trouble-free thing. Its sharp claws, which are ten centimeters long, are holding the red deer tightly, and its mouth is biting the red deer's neck. No matter how hard the red deer is, it just won't let go.
Seemingly realizing that this method had little effect on the wolverine, the red deer immediately changed its method, walked to a birch tree, shook its head vigorously, hugged the wolverine around its neck like a piece of candy, and bit the wolverine fiercely.
It hit the trunk of a birch tree hard.
At this moment, the wolverine was hit hard.
The wolverine didn't let go after the first hit, and the wolverine still didn't let go after the second hit. By the third hit, the wolverine couldn't bear it anymore, and the hind legs that were holding on tightly to the deer fell down.
Immediately afterwards, the red deer lowered its head and stepped on its front feet alternately.
Several people saw that the wolverine's tail was stepped on and torn off with a strong tug from the red deer.
"It's amazing!"
Zhang Shaofeng was extremely surprised. He also saw the hole on the red deer's neck that was bitten open. The blood was constantly flowing down. The fierce attack left mottled red spots on the snow: "I'm afraid this red deer is...
He won’t live long either.”
"Just because I couldn't run away, I fought to the death. I'm afraid it would be a red eye. Even if I broke free, I wouldn't even think about running away!" Liang Kangbo said with a smile.
Just as Lang Kangbo said, the red deer finally pulled down the wolverine. Even though there were still ingots surrounding it, it looked completely indifferent. Instead of thinking about running away, it lowered its head and used its head.
The antlers on the deer hit the wolverine, knocking the wolverine over and over after just rolling up from the deer's hooves, followed by another pick, sending the wolverine flying into the air.
The wolverine landed on the snow, and the black tigers surrounding it immediately rushed out, wanting to hit the wolverine.
Just now, the red deer and wolverine were fighting wildly, jumping around wildly. The dogs didn't find a chance to get close, but now they separated, they finally caught the chance.
Just when the black tiger bit the wolverine, the wolverine reacted very quickly by twisting its body and jumping up from the snow. Instead, it opened its mouth and bit the black tiger, forcing the black tiger to quickly dodge back.
The wolverine only scared the black tiger away, turned around and launched a sneak attack on the red deer, and took a bite out of the red deer's hind legs.
The red deer took a mouthful from the black mouth, kicked the black mouth several times, shook the black mouth away, turned around and hit the black mouth.
When Heizui saw this, of course he turned around and jumped aside to avoid it.
The wolverine is also strange. It did not attack the red deer immediately. Instead, it targeted the black mouth, hoping to push it back further.
Life was in danger. When the red deer saw the wolverine appearing in front of it, it almost instinctively lowered its head and raised its antlers diagonally towards the wolverine, sending the wolverine flying again.
After the wolverine landed, it rolled on the snow and stood up again. As if nothing was wrong, it finally set its target on the red deer. It rushed towards the red deer without hesitation and bared its teeth in front of the red deer.
Jump left and right, or circle around the red deer, forcing the deer to lower its head and keep following around to defend and parry.
Maybe he lost too much blood and lost his strength, maybe he was dizzy, but without a few struggles, the wolverine once again caught the opportunity, jumped up, and successfully hugged the red deer's neck with its limbs and paws, and started going crazy.
Bite.
"This is so stupid and bold, and so cruel!"
Not only were the six dogs ignored, but even the five people watching the battle were ignored by the wolverine. Liang Kangbo smiled and sighed: "Don't it know that the dogs and people here can be easily taken over?"
Its life?"
"This is the ferocious side of the wolverine. Among carnivores of its size, it is the undisputed king. It dares to compete with lynxes for food and wolves. The key is that it likes to smear its body with urine.
It can release a stink so bad that many animals that have the ability to kill it are reluctant to eat it because of the smell.
And the prey it snatches will be smeared with urine so that no other animal can eat it, so it has no choice but to give up. This is a little bully, fierce and rogue."
Lu Lu said with a smile: "It is afraid that it knows that this red deer is dying and has been regarded as its own prey. In its eyes, we and the dog are probably regarded as snatching prey. The feeling it gives me is that
Protect food.”
This being even dares to steal food from the mouth of a brown bear.
Really fearless.
"Brother Lu, why is this red deer different from the one we shot last time? The last time it was just auburn, why is this one gray-brown?" Chen Xiuqing's focus was a little different.
"What's so strange about this? They molt. Red deer moult as the seasons change. In summer, their fur is auburn, relatively short, and has no down. But in late autumn and early winter, in order to keep out the cold, red deer will grow
The fur will turn gray-brown. This is just like putting on more clothes when it gets cold in winter.
In early summer, when they are moulting, they will constantly rub their bodies against the trees to quickly replace the thick hair on their bodies. Therefore, when looking for red deer in the summer, there are not only footprints, but also their rubbing on the trees.
The hair left behind when traveling can also be used for tracking.”
When the subject of red deer molting came up, Lu Lu gave Chen Xiuqing a lesson.
Not only Chen Xiuqing, but also Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo also nodded slightly.
"When you have nothing to do, ask Mr. Zhao and Brother Zhao more often. They are experts at tracking and finding prey!" Lu Lu said in passing.
Even Lu Lu himself learned this knowledge from Father Zhao. Lu Lu always admired the Oroqen people's ability to easily track down their prey through clues. Even now, in front of Zhao Tuanqing and Zhao Yongke
, Lu Ludu still consciously maintained a humble attitude of asking for advice.
"Then tell me, the red deer obviously runs faster than the wolverine, why can it be caught up so easily?" Chen Xiuqing asked curiously.
"Wolverines are also very good at climbing trees. When they find traces of animals, they will run to the trees to guard them. When they are at a high place, the scent is diffused and it is difficult for the wild animals below to detect them. When the prey passes by, they will pounce down directly.
Just bite, this thing also has a name, flying bear, it is flexible on the tree.
There is another way, that is, it will drive the prey into the snow nest. The movement of the wild animals in the trap will be restricted and they will not be able to escape, so they can easily bite them to death.
Besides, the wolverine is not slow when running. Look at its big feet. It doesn’t sink in the snow very well. It is much easier to run on the snow than a red deer.”
Animals are also very skillful when hunting. They may seem barbaric, but only when you see them do you realize that they contain many tips for survival and hunting.
Even humans learned many hunting skills from animals.
After struggling for several minutes, there was blood and mud everywhere on the ground. The red deer finally died. The wolverine hung on its neck and opened a blood hole again. The blood flow became more intense, and its physical strength was rapidly disappearing.
His steps became staggering, and finally he fell down in the snow, unable to stand up.
Yuanbao and the others were still barking around, but this wolverine let go of the red deer and turned around, baring its teeth at several dogs. If anyone came close, they would immediately rush towards them and kill the dogs.
The sons were forced to retreat.
Probably because of the smell of the wolverine, the dogs didn't have a strong desire to attack it. In the end, they didn't even bother to bark and just surrounded it.
"Nothing to see!"
Lu Lu raised his gun, pulled the trigger, and shot the wolverine that was baring its teeth at Yuan Bao. The wolverine that was so fierce one second was only twitching in its legs the next second.
Hearing the gunfire, several dogs rushed over immediately, but when they got to the wolverine, they roared again and went around to the side, preparing to rush into the lower mouth of the red deer, which had not yet completely breathed its last and was about to struggle to get up, but Lu Lu spoke out.
Called aside.
He pulled out his hunting knife, walked over, and stabbed the red deer in the neck.
The red deer struggled violently for a few times and then died.
"The smell here is too bad, please help us move it aside and take care of it!"
After hearing this, several people took action, dragged the red deer aside far away, and then began to skin the deer on the spot, taking out a series of things such as the deer's whip, deer's blood, and deer tendons.
"Keep this deer head for me, don't damage it!" Lu Lu warned.
"What do you want this deer head for? It's just a pile of bones!" Liang Kangbo asked with some confusion.
"I think this deer head is pretty good-looking, I'm going to take it back and show it!"
"If there's anything good to see, take it if you like it."
As Lu Lu said, he simply took matters into his own hands and carefully cut off the red deer's head with a hunting knife.
This is a rare deer head!
Normally, the antlers of a red deer only grow eight prongs and then stop growing. Only a few individuals can grow up to ten prongs. But this red deer's antlers right now are powerful, domineering, well-proportioned, and beautiful.
Incredible.
Normally, he would probably just break it into pieces and feed it to the dogs, but Lu Lu couldn't bear to part with it. He took it back and made it into a deer head ornament. If someone likes it or needs it, he can sell it for a good price if it's rare.
, not even less valuable than the other parts of this deer.
As the saying goes, "there are deer when you make money."
